WhatsApp messages between Oliver Menzies and me, on the morning of 1 August 2021:

Oliver Menzies

OK. This is big.

Amanda Bailey

What is?

Oliver Menzies

The case of the Alperton Angels. The MYSTERY of the Alperton Angels. No one realised it at the time. People are blind to it. I know – I was blind to it myself once. I’ve found out some things these last few weeks that explain it all. And I’m more involved than I ever realised.

Amanda Bailey

You mean the mad squaddie?

Oliver Menzies

No, no. He’s nothing. I called him after the mediation ordeal. Apologised. He was fine. Gracious even. We’re going for a drink. He’s not calling me every morning.

Amanda Bailey

You’re finally getting some sleep, that’s good.

Oliver Menzies

At 4.44 a.m. every morning THEY call me. It’s a sign they’re watching.

Amanda Bailey

Remember what Jo said. Highlight any mysterious anomalies, but leave the reader to make the other-worldly connection

WhatsApp messages between me and Oliver Menzies, later on 1 August 2021:

Amanda Bailey

I’m looking for references to the Alperton Angels in popular culture. What was the Ibiza track you mentioned way back?

Oliver Menzies

‘Starz’ by Widmore & Schmoozy. Ace choon and lyrics.

Amanda Bailey

Cheers. Will check it out now.

You won’t know where the moon is till you look up to the sky. You won’t know where your wings are till you fall and have to fly.
